I think the conclusion is obvious.
Why does Starbucks use green cups? Well, green is the color of grass. Where do you find grass? Certainly, in white peoples' neighborhoods. Where don't you find grass? You don't find it in asphalt and cement covered ghettos where most black people live. Obviously, Starbucks green cups are meant as a welcoming nod to white people. But get this: verdant landscapes sometimes turn brown. So, that is Starbucks way of acknowledging Hispanics as a welcome customer component. Of course, even the lushest of green lawns sometime sprout daisies which are yellow. Guess to whom that's a welcoming nod.
No,Starbucks isn't fooling me: Starbucks is hell bent on very specific inclusion and very specific exclusion. Just look at the cups. Oli...LOL.. u had2 b smokin' something 2 make that analogy...that was awesome, but anyways, the whole thing is just ridiculous.

Many people need to take a page out of what they did. There is always going to be someone who is going to try and get over on someone, but these guys took the road less travelled and wanted to better their communities. Trump just brought the racism to the front, instead of having that thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid Al-Adha or any other big family get togethers, and don't shake your head that that is not true, cause I have relatives that I will cry at their funerals, but I won't go on vacation with.
